An APES museum?  In Brazil?!  What's going to be it, Portuguese translations of the books and comics?  Or, did you manage to get him a pair of Roddy McDowall's feet?  That's worth going to Brazil for!

He's currently creating an "Apes" museum in Brazil.

That's all well and good, but I don't think any of us will be driving to
Brazil or that anyone plans on flying there anytime soon. I think Denver it
a better coice for us north Apemericans.

It was going to be published by Roger of the "Forbidden Zone" website but
the money fell through. He wants to self publish but money is tight. Too bad
all this "Ape" stuff is coming during a bad economy and world woes, it makes
the "Ape" sales worse.

Cool, no problem bud.

It's water under the bridge.

 

I've been doing some work on the site, bringing the old site back slowly but surely.

While this server seems to be okay, calima5021, the site seems to pause when having too many people on all at once. So my search goes on to find a better server. But until then the site will return, not as loaded with files as before, but just enough to entertain those who visit, as I continue to search for a better and perminate server for the site.

 

Finding servers that can support huge media files like mine is not easy, yeah their out there but most will charge you a life saving for the service. But I'll find a better server soon enough. As technology grows and gets cheaper, so does bandwidth charges on web servers.

 

I may just be a little beyond my time, or wahlet for that matter. :o)

 

Best.

Al

"Invasion of the Apes" can be found in the August 1998 issue of the "APES CHRONICLES" newsletter. You should be able to get a back issue of it from Hoknes.<.html

Gotcha, thanks -- so it's not a licensed story, then. Still, I've been
thinking about getting the back issues of APES CHRONICLES anyway, so I'll
check it out. I just wanted to ascertain if it was something that is
considered part of the licensed canon since I've been re-reading all the
comics, etc.

I just noticed in the TV Guide that Cinemax all this week is showing an APES film everyday at four in the afternoon.  Does that remind anyone else here of afternoons' TV watching in the late seventies?

I also wonder if it's a coincindence coming the week before Halloween?  Anyway, I don't have Cinemax, and am at work in the afternoons, and who wants to watch pan and scan anymore?

  Here's my take on the books:

 

 "POTA as American Myth" (Greene) and Sauseville's collectibles books are unique and worthy. But they're not for everyone. If you're not into analyzing the films, Greene's book will leave you cold. Sauseville's book is by it's nature pricey for a paperback and some people could care less about collectibles.

 

 The rest are variations on a theme : the history of the saga. "Revisited" has the most info plus a lot of rare photos so it's probably the best buy and it's only a couple bucks more than the others. Haven't seen Pendreigh's (how are the photos, Rory?). Sounds like a good book with new info; finally someone had the bright idea to talk to Blake Edwards. As histories go, those two are probably the best.

 

 "Unofficial Companion" and "Chronicles"(not to be confused with the wonderous "Ape Chronicles") I would put in the beginners catagory. Maybe as a gift to someone who remembers the flicks as a kid and the new one piques their interest. Not hard to slog through, gives an overview, including the comics, toys, etc. I liked that "Unofficial Companion" had the author's opinions. It's kinda like talking to a friend about which episodes he liked best. And it's very organised. You wanna know what reviews for "Conquest" were like? You can find 'em fast. I guess it's an odd compliment but it's a "bathroom book". It's fun to just look through for a couple minutes. "Chronicles" is much more impersonal. I don't get the feeling the author even likes "Apes". It comes across as an assignment, while "U.C." is more homey. The author does write some of "Chronicles" but most of it is reprints of old articles (good ones, including the famed issue of "Cinefantastique" that interviewed everybody). Some of these articles are hard to find, so it's nice to have them all in one place.

 

 The easiest books to find seem to be "Unofficial Companion" and "Revisited". But the amount of POTA books is not overwhelming and I don't think it would put collectors out to get all of them.

I wanted to check the general consensus of the group before picking up any of the recently released books about classic POTA. As I've understood it so far...

Hofstede/UNOFFICIAL COMPANION- Not so good, but I hear there's a great interview and some photos in the back (Hi Jeff...)

Russo/REVISITED- Good

Woods/CHRONICLES- strictly reprints of old articles, but worth having if you've never seen them before

anyone have the Pendreigh book as of yet?

The Russo book is great, and I have the Pendreigh book is just as good and, I think, better written.  The other two you can pass on.  You're not missing a thing.

Hey guys! On October 26-28 in E. Rutherford, New Jersey a huge convention is

Oh, btw, this weekend was finally the Batcon here in Texas with Julie Newmar,
Adam West, Frank Gorshin, and Yvonne Craig. It was a blast! Afterwards I went
on a JFK assassination tour starting with Oswald's grave in Ft. Worth then to
Dealey Plaza in Dallas. Really fun weekend!

I don't have the script, but the novelization lists the names Mendez XXVI,
Caspay, and Albina. The others are referred to as the Negro and the Fat
Man. Three out of five ain't bad, eh?

A-ha! I can now shed more light on this subject -- the official Don Pedro
Colley website lists his character from "Beneath" as Ongaro, confirming
that name for the Negro. However, so far I've found no name at all for the

When I interviewed Colley in '96 he pronounced it Ono goro (like in Yoko
Ono). We talked about him being called "Negro" and he said the first time he
learned about it was when he saw the credits in the theatre. I asked him why
some mutants had names and some didn't and he said, "We ALL had names". He
just dismissed it as Hollywood having to put a label on things.

Medical Centre, Level 3. What the hell do you do? I've got the various kinds

Russ Martin was on the radio talking about the Batcon. And also about the
Celeb Phenomenon. I know it well. Even as I would talk more to Kim and the
comfort level would increase, a certain amount of it would remain. It's not
adrenaline. It must be akin to whatever brain chemical that makes you blush
around someone you like. It's not necessarily an attraction thing though.
It was happening to Russ with Adam West. No matter how cool you are you turn
into a muttering jackass. "Hello, Russ!", West would say. 'hi, batman...'
He'd be saying to himself, 'I'm cool! I own the Mach 5. My listeners think
my shit don't stink. I get more poonannie than I can handle.' But when it
came down to he was still 6 years old, and Adam West was still Batman. 'hi,
batman..' I'm sure Yvonne Craig would have had the same effect on me. But
it isn't a chemistry thing like pheromones. Apparently it has no effect on
people who don't know or identify with the Celebs in question. If I hadn't
been in a band I might still be a virgin today. But what they did to the
Batboat! It now has 3 wheels on it and stereo speakers in the fins. That's
what happens when you store it in Tyler -- The cup holder capital of the
world!

The Batcycle resides in Australia.....just in case anyone cares......

Oh you may get dancers or porn stars... But if you're an Apes fan and you start talking to Kim Hunter, you're still seven years old and she's still Zira.  Russ must be a huge Batman fan.  Before the Mach 5s started turning up on eBay he wanted to buy the Batmobile.  He even had his computer customized into the Batcomputer...

Toys R Us is having a big sale this week and among the offerings is the
"Apes" PC game for $10 off ($19.95 instead of $29.95). If you've been
thinking about getting it, think hard! One week only.

I know absolutely zero about video games. Is there a difference between
games for PC, Play station and Game Boy (in particular why is the GameBoy
Advance $10 more ($40)? ). Is there more game on those?

Subject: [pota] NEW DVD PLAYER

A new DVD player hits the market:

I friend told me at work that a new DVD player has hit the market.

It's a DVD system that can record a VHS Tape to a DVD, a music CD to CD, a VCD to CD, a CD data to CD and of course a DVD to a DVD.

Retail is about a thousand dollars, but it's amazing to see how far our technology is coming along.

 

Truely Ideal for exclusive VHS POTA Exclusives to DVD huh?

With all the one time exlusive stuff I have on VHS, (non official DVD releases) it would be great to offer these on a DVD instead of a VHS.

 

God knows I'm tempted to buy it.

And I think I am. So be ready to get these ONE TIME non DVD released exclusives on a DVD as well.

 

Oh, the Humanity! :o)

I just got a new computer, but it has XP on it and there are no drivers to
support my old Monster 3D card. And my old system is too old and slow to
play the new games. So a $10 savings on the new POTA Game won't help much.
Now It I could only find a half priced video accelerator card that supports
XP...

I'm guessing that the PC version and the Playstation version will be quite
the same. Are you sure that the Gameboy Advance game is 40 dollars? They
are usually only 25-35. The Gameboy Advance game will probably be more of an

The savings continue. I got the Tower video exclusive "Apes" lunchbox for
$5 (regularly $20). All their "Ape" stuff has red tags on them. Suncoast
still has their stuff 25% off. Actually, it's really sad. The economy is in
the toilet, it's not just "Ape" stuff. I hope things turn around but it's a
vicious circle. People don't spend and recession becomes a self fulfilling
prophecy. Buy, buy, buy "Ape"

By saying that the Sega system on play 'their games' do you mean only Sega
developed games? I can tell you right now that that is not true.

Like I said, I don't know much about them. Anyway until there's a clear-cut
winner, I'll stick with my 64. I'm not going to splash out a couple few
hundred buck unless it's going to be around for a while. And of course this
has to have a version of Apes! I didn't even get a 64 until Goldeneye had
been out for some time. I saw my nephew and brother playing it and had to
have one that week. The last game system I had before that played Missile
Command, Moon Patrol and Pac-Man.

I had an Atari 5200 in 1983 in the States when we lived in Ohio for a while.

It was state of the art and cost about $800.

Funny how things change.......

And there's nothing wrong with that. ;)

Indeed. I feel like part of my childhood is missing because nobody ever made
"Planet of the Apes" for the ZX Spectrum.

Hey, the "Apes" actually went up on the box office charts this week, from
#27 to #26. "Jurassic" took #27. But "Apes" is still at the $178 million
range. Less than $1 and 1/2 million to go before it hits $180 mil. Should
take about a month.
